you can't. only 2022 is available online. to do 2020 you would need to purchase the desktop app.

Sure hope you did not try to e-file it. That return is all wrong. The online program is only for 2022 returns-- no other year. You cannot change the year. Clear the return out and use the account for your 2022 return instead.

Online preparation and e-filing for 2019 and 2020 and 2021 is permanently closed.

To file a return for a prior tax year

If you need to prepare a return for 2019, 2020 or 2021 you can purchase and download desktop software to do it, then print, sign, and mail the return(s)

You may also want to explore purchasing the software from various retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart, Sam’s, etc.

Remember to prepare your state return as well—if you live in a state that has a state income tax.

When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.

Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.

Note: The desktop software you need to prepare the prior year return must be installed/downloaded to a full PC or Mac. It cannot be used on a mobile device.

If you are getting a refund, there is not a penalty for filing past the deadline. If you owe taxes, the interest/penalties will be calculated by the IRS based on how much you owe and when they receive your return and payment. The IRS will bill you for this; it will not be calculated by TurboTax.

If you did efile it then post back. If it was efiled and accepted you have a big problem. If you didn't file it yet but Turbo Tax won't let you clear it then you will have to manually change everything to be for the real 2022 return. Or abandon this account and start a new account for 2022.

Did you file 2022 yet? It might be best to start a new account for 2022. Online is only good for one return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.
